Your Hometown University THIS IS All Averett.

Scene: Plant and Linda converse while Linda sweeps her sun-dappled kitchen floor.)

Plant (curiously): What are you doing?

Linda (tolerantly): Cleaning a living space helps people stay healthy.

P: And organized. Why are you sweeping around those towers of manufactured goods rising up from the floor like staggering geometric islands?

L: The stacks of books, CDs, and DVDs we’ve been meaning to move?

P: To where?

L: You’ve put your best leaf right on the pulse of the problem.

P: Why?

L: These are just some of the unread, unheard, and unviewed stacks in the house.

P: How did they get there?

L: We brought them in.

P: Why unread, unheard, and unviewed?

L: We’re retired so we have copious imaginary time, but in reality, we have none. We’ve structured our time with other tasks.

P: Like what?

L: Like hauling your pot around the block daily in a red wagon for you to have a change of scene.
